NGC Expert Comments:
Even after the United Kingdom terminated its gold standard coinage, Australia continued striking these historic pieces for a year or two. This set is mostly complete for all issues struck at the several Aussie mints. An extensive historical essay is provided, and each coin is illustrated. Highlights include the rare early issues, such as 1857 (NGC AU 55), 1864 (AU 58), 1872M with St. George reverse (AU 58) and 1879S St. George (AU 58). An important condition rarity is the 1930M (NGC MS 63, just one finer). This collection represents an outstanding achievement, as the sheer number of coins needed for completion is daunting.
